Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Outside the yard.

Liu Jianye followed Cui Dashan forward.

Just a few steps outside, Cui Dashan suddenly turned around and looked at Liu Jianye pitifully.

"Son-in-law, I need to discuss this with you. What should we do about your brother-in-law's situation?"

“After Hongmei’s accident, I lost my sense of direction, which is why I sent this child to your house. Actually, I was just scared.”

“You know, our family was doing just fine, and then this happened all of a sudden. We’re not exactly worldly-wise, so we’re really worried.”

"Let's not talk about what happened before, it was all our fault. Just wait and see what happens in the future. If I ever do anything to you and Hongmei in the future, may I be struck by lightning!"

At this point, Cui Dashan sniffed hard, and his eyes began to redden.

Liu Jianye was taken aback.

My goodness!

Cui Dashan is ruthless; he could even say something like that to save Cui Xiaojiu.

If this had happened in the past, people would probably have sworn a solemn oath, right?

Looking at Cui Dashan in front of him, Liu Jianye didn't know what to say.

I am a straightforward person; I say what I think.

Seeing the situation before him, Liu Jianye was completely at a loss for words.

I'm sorry, Cui Hongmei. This is absolutely true. The Cui family owes Cui Hongmei a debt.

But to just gloss over the apology and guilt with such a light sentence, isn't that a bit too much?

Just a moment ago, he didn't treat Cui Hongmei like a human being, but now he's calling her son-in-law all the time, and even Cui Xiaojiu is being called his brother-in-law by Cui Dashan.

This is absolutely speechless!

Liu Jianye remained silent, which made Cui Dashan even more anxious.

After spinning around twice in place, Cui Dashan spoke again.

“Son-in-law, we all know that our third son is a promising man, but we must use that promise to help our own people. Little Jiu is still young and may not understand some things, but we are not confused.”

"what do you want to say?"

Seeing that Cui Dashan wanted to continue speaking, Liu Jianye frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"I just need Sanzi's help. Xiao Jiu can't be in any trouble. If something happens to him, the entire Cui family will be finished."

"It depends on how serious your son's crime is. If the higher-ups keep pursuing it, even Sanzi can't help."

Cui Dashan was taken aback.

"Didn't he just say that this matter could be a big deal or a small deal? Let him target the younger one. Good son-in-law, you should put in a good word for him."

Instead of continuing Cui Dashan's line of thought, Liu Jianye changed the subject.

"Just now, I didn't quite hear what you were saying to Hongmei about the dowry."

"Dowry? Ah, that!" Cui Dashan looked flustered, his heart leaping into his throat, but he quickly forced a smile. "That was just a joke, did you really take it seriously?"

Next, Cui Dashan solemnly told Liu Jianye that when he talked to Cui Hongmei about the dowry, it was really just a joke.

She also said that the dowry was given by the Liu family, and the Cui family hadn't provided much for the young couple. How could she be so foolish as to take it back from Cui Hongmei's home?

It's all a joke, just a joke.

"I see. I thought you were going to use Hongmei's dowry to help Xiao Jiu get married. It seems I was overthinking it."

Liu Jianye provided a slope, and Cui Dashan immediately began to descend it.

"cant!"

“Hongmei loves her younger brother, we can all see that, but as parents, how can we let our daughter discipline our son? We’re not confused.”

"Don't worry about the dowry, it belongs to Hongmei, we won't touch a single penny!"

"Also, your mother-in-law and I discussed it last night, and we'll be giving you a big red envelope when you go back to your parents' home in three days!"

Cui Dashan spoke while laughing.

But now it's slowly dripping blood.

To say that giving money to Liu Jianye and Cui Hongmei now would be like robbing them of their own ribs.

But for her son, she was willing to risk everything.

Who can blame them when the Cui family only has one son, Cui Xiaojiu?

Now I can only accept my bad luck!

Liu Jianye finally smiled.

It wasn't that they were greedy, but it was really not easy to get Cui Dashan to take the initiative to offer them money.

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."

"No need to thank me. As long as Xiao Jiu's matter is handled tactfully, anything is fine. We're all family, so we can't be formal. Go on, go inside and rest!"

"Didn't you ask me to help you carry firewood?"

"No need, no need, I can do it by myself. How could such a small amount of firewood tire me out?"

Seeing that Liu Jianye had finally relented and urged Cui Dashan to leave, he was overjoyed and even pushed Liu Jianye into the house as he spoke.

And so, Liu Jianye returned to the house.

"Brother, you finished your work so quickly?" Liu Jia asked with a smile, then picked up his enamel mug and took a sip of tea.

Liu Jianye lowered his voice and looked at Liu Jia in disbelief.

"What happened today really scared them. Sanzi, how did you know all this? Do you know what my father-in-law said to me just now?"

In front of Cui Hongmei, Liu Jianye recounted what had just happened in detail, leaving even Cui Hongmei speechless.

God!

What's going on?

My parents are notorious for being incredibly stingy, never giving a penny. Now I'm actually giving them red envelopes?

If I hadn't heard Liu Jianye say it with my own ears, I really wouldn't have believed it was true.

"That's all there is to it. We went back to our parents' home three days later, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law gave us a really big gift!"

Liu Jianye's words calmed Cui Hongmei down.

Taking a deep breath, Cui Hongmei said calmly, "Since they're going to give us red envelopes, then we should accept them. There's no need to refuse!"

"You really want it? I was just saying that."

“Why not? I’ve figured it out now. I might never encounter such kindness from them in my entire life. Besides, this is a red envelope for the bride’s return visit. We’ll take it.”

Liu Jianye looked at Cui Hongmei with affection, "Okay, whatever you say goes, I'll listen to you."

An hour later.

The table at Old Cui's house was already full of food.

Cold dishes, hot dishes, dumplings.

Cui Dashan even personally poured vinegar and delivered it to Liu Jia and Liu Jianye.

Liu Jia was secretly delighted.

Liu Jianye's sons-in-law are really well treated.

"Before we eat, let me say a few words. Xiao Jiu was careless and talked nonsense today. I'll have him apologize to you first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Xiaojiu took a step back and bowed respectfully to Liu Jianye.

"Brother Sanzi, I'm sorry for saying I was confused earlier."

Then came another bow.

This time, the person facing him was Liu Jianye.

"Brother-in-law, I was ignorant, please forgive me, I promise I won't do it again."

The last bow was actually to Cui Hongmei.

"Sister, I'm not human. I was confused just now. I even thought of hitting you with a carrying pole. I'm a piece of trash. Please don't hold it against me, okay?"

Thinking about what Cui Xiaojiu had just done, Cui Hongmei felt a pang of unease.

Seeing the child now apologizing and making amends, Cui Hongmei felt a pang of sadness.

Actually, Cui Xiaojiu isn't inherently bad; she's just spoiled by her parents.

Cui Hongmei remained silent.

Cui Xiaojiu remained bent over, too afraid to stand up.

Finally, Cui Hongmei sighed, "What's wrong with you? Can't we eat good food? Hurry up and sit down to eat."

"Okay, thank you, sister, thank you, brother-in-law!" Cui Xiaojiu quickly got up and sat down next to Cui Hongmei, then grinned at Liu Jia, "Thank you, Third Brother!"

Liu Jia sneered inwardly.

Cui Dashan really knows how to talk.

To be honest, his son is young and doesn't understand things, and he makes mistakes.

But now, seeing Cui Xiaojiu's series of actions, Liu Jia thinks Cui Xiaojiu is quite shrewd!

Whether it was an apology from Cui Xiaojiu's heart or something Cui Dashan taught him, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

"Let's eat, let's eat, the food will get cold!"

After Cui Dashan said that, everyone started eating.

……

"Brother, you don't need to see me off to school this time. I'll buy the train ticket myself."

These past few days, Guo Jianjun has been busy with work at his unit, leaving early and returning late.

Seeing Guo Jianjun so busy he was spinning like a top, Guo Xiaoyan spoke up with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jianjun immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows twitching.

"What are you talking about? You only come back once in such a long time. How could I not see you off when you left?"

"Look how busy you are."

"You'll only be busy for a couple of days. You'll be free after today. Don't worry about my business. I'll take care of it. Just so you know, you can't buy the train tickets. I still have to take you and Sanzi to school!"

Guo Xiaoyan was taken aback.

She pouted and looked at Guo Jianjun.

"You were in such a hurry, and you even brought me and Liu Jia together. Couldn't you have just brought me alone? I was feeling sorry for you just now, but it turns out you were only doing this to bring Liu Jia!"

"My dear sister, are you still half asleep? Liu Jia and you hold the same place in my heart, don't you? Besides, you go to the same school, why would I want to push him out?"

Guo Jianjun blinked, and Guo Xiaoyan was speechless.

If I were to say anything further, Guo Jianjun would probably accuse me of being petty.

But does Liu Jia really hold such a heavy place in Guo Jianjun's heart?

I am Guo Jianjun’s biological sister, but how long have Liu Jia and Guo Jianjun known each other?

Guo Xiaoyan was surprised.

At the same time, I felt a bit jealous.

So much so that when Guo Xiaoyan looked at Guo Jianjun again, her eyes narrowed.

"Don't look at me like that. Liu Jia and I have a revolutionary brotherhood, and you and I are like family. These don't conflict."

Guo Xiaoyan was completely speechless.

"Brother, what kind of person is Liu Jia in your heart? Can you tell me your impression of him?"

Guo Xiaoyan sat down in the chair and looked at Guo Jianjun with a solemn expression.

"Impression? Didn't I already tell you about Sanzi? He's intelligent, insightful, ambitious, and capable."

With just a few simple words, Guo Jianjun made Liu Jia sound like he was the best in the world.

Guo Xiaoyan frowned slightly.

I've lived with the woman's family for three years.

Why do I have a different opinion of Liu Jia?

No, they're not the same.

More precisely, it was because I hadn't noticed Liu Jia's strengths before.

Guo Xiaoyan has always considered herself superior.

But I've never misjudged anyone like this before.

"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I think Liu Jia really seems like a different person."

"Perhaps that's just how he is, but you have some prejudice against Liu Jia."

"What prejudice? I'm always very objective when I evaluate others."

Guo Xiaoyan knew that Guo Jianjun would soon find fault with her, but at this moment, Guo Xiaoyan was still full of hope that Guo Jianjun would say something.

After all, it seems I really misjudged Liu Jia.

"Because Liu Jia likes you and has put his heart into you, you feel that everything Liu Jia does is justified. Of course, this is not your fault, and many people would think so."

"Isn't liking someone about doing things for her and hoping she'll be happy every day?"

"But over time, this will become a habit, and you will feel that you can't get used to it if Liu Jia treats you like an ordinary person one day."
